The JET boys are home and touring with Powderfinger on their Sunset Farewell Tour and loving it! While they were back in Sydney this weekend we surprised the guys with a celebration of achieving 1 million album and single sales in Australia. Here are some pics from the night:

Congratulations Nic, Chris, Mark and Cam… you deserve it!

JET’s full discography of timeless Aussie rock – Get Born, Shine On and Shaka Rock are available from The In Song.

JET flew back into Australia this week after a couple of months touring overseas to appear on the first show of Hey Hey It’s Saturday and blew the 1.5 million viewers away with performances of She’s a Genius and Seventeen. Their GOLD album quickly jumped back up the iTunes chart to #11 and they were interviewed by anyone who was anyone in media including (but certainly not limited to) Hamish & Andy, Triple M’s Grill Team, The Today Show, Nova Nights, Angela Bishop, Hot 30 and B105 + heaps of press.

The Grill Team were proud to present them with a GOLD award this morning on air for their album Shaka Rock and single She’s A Genius seen here:

One of my favourite moments from this visit was their cover of INXS’s Never Tear Us Apart at Nova.

JET will be touring with Powderfinger later this year and tickets go on sale at the end of this month… don’t miss it.

At a press conference held in Sydney yesterday Powderfinger had a few HUGE announcements, one being that they will be kicking off their final tour this September / October called ‘Sunsets – The Farewell Tour’ – their biggest yet – and they will be joined by JET!

JET also announce today that they will be in the country next week for a promotional tour from Tuesday April 13 to Friday April 16 to promote their Gold album Shaka Rock and latest smash single Seventeen, the band will head to Sydney and hometown Melbourne before preparing what is to be, THE ultimate Australian concert of 2010!

She’s a Genius, the album’s first single is charging well beyond Gold sales and was recently nominated for the APRA ‘Song of the Year’ award!

Current single Seventeen is cranking up to be yet another smash. For a snapshot look at JET on the road and loads of Aussie gigs that you might have been at over the last few months including Live At the Chapel and their Greenday support tour, check out the video for Seventeen:
